Cricket Betting at btb 99 — Best Markets from BPL to T20 World Cup
Bet on Bangladesh's most popular sport with ease. At btb 99, join markets across all three formats — T20, ODI and Test — including match winner, toss, top batsman and more, and enjoy live in-play odds.
Three Formats of Cricket and Favourite Tournaments
One of the big draws of cricket betting is the variety of formats. In a T20 match, results can swing in just a few balls — scoring 18–20 runs in a single over is not unusual, so odds move fast. In ODI, strategy and patience matter equally across a long 500-ball journey, and odds take on a new shape each session. In Test cricket, a draw is a valid result over five days, so the match winner market has three options — which sets it apart from T20 and ODI.
When it comes to tournaments, BPL is the most familiar to Bangladeshi fans — the domestic franchise league where you can follow local players' performances directly. IPL draws a big response across the region every April–May as the top attraction in Indian cricket. The T20 World Cup and ICC tournaments offer the chance to watch the Tigers perform on the international stage. Following these matches as a Bangladesh supporter brings a different kind of excitement.
Besides cricket, you can also bet on football at btb 99 — the World Cup, Premier League or local matches. Football matches last just 90 minutes, goals are relatively fewer and draws happen often — these factors make the betting approach quite different from cricket. In cricket, wickets, overs and pitch conditions directly affect odds in ways that have no equivalent in football.

Popular Betting Markets in Cricket
A single match offers multiple angles to bet on. Here are 7 common markets explained in plain terms.
Match Winner
Bet on which of the two teams will win. In T20 and ODI there are two options (Team A or Team B); in Test there are three (Team A, Team B, Draw). Example: if you back Team A with ৳1,000 and they win, you get the full return; if they don't win, the full amount is lost.
Toss Winner
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match begins. Since the probability is roughly 50-50, odds are usually close on both sides. The result is known quickly — well before the match ends.
Top Batsman
Bet on which batsman will score the most runs for a given team. With multiple options available, odds are generally higher, but so is the chance of getting it wrong.
Over / Under Total Runs
Choose whether the total runs scored in an innings or a full match will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. Pitch reports and weather play a significant role here.
Top Bowler
A market where you pick in advance which bowler will take the most wickets in a match. If pitch and weather conditions favour spinners, it makes sense to analyse accordingly.
Run Handicap
A virtual run advantage is given to the weaker team to level the market. For example: if Team B gets +30 runs, they win the handicap bet even if they finish 30 runs behind in the actual result.
Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
Combining multiple matches or markets into one creates a multi bet. The odds of each selection are multiplied together, so the potential return is much higher — but if any single bet loses, the entire ticket is lost. Example: three selections with odds of 1.40, 1.50 and 1.90 give a combined odds of 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.90 = 3.99 (approximately); a ৳100 bet returns ৳399 if all three are correct. If even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
Odds Come in Three Formats — How to Read Them
On betting sites, odds are shown in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same information in different ways. The two examples below will make it clear.
| Format | Team A may win (underdog) | Team B may win (favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | 1.25 |
| Fractional | 2/1 | 1/4 |
| American | +200 | -400 |
Example 1 — Team A (Underdog)
Decimal 3.00 means a ৳1,000 bet returns a total of ৳3,000 (৳2,000 profit + original ৳1,000). The same odds are 2/1 in fractional and +200 in American. If the bet loses, ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Team B (Favourite)
Decimal 1.25 means a ৳1,000 bet returns a total of ৳1,250 (only ৳250 profit). In fractional that is 1/4 and in American -400 — meaning you need to stake ৳400 to win ৳100. Favourites have lower odds because they are considered more likely to win.

btb 99 shows decimal format by default, which is the most common in Bangladesh. The higher the odds, the greater the potential return — but the event is considered less likely to occur.
Live Betting — Odds Change While the Match is On
In-play or live betting means you can still place bets after the match has started. In cricket this is especially significant because odds shift almost instantly with every wicket or at the end of every over.
Say Team A is in a strong position at the 15th over of the first innings — Team A's odds of winning will drop and Team B's will rise. If three wickets fall in quick succession, the picture changes in moments. This dynamic is what sets live betting apart.
Total runs markets move fast during power-play overs. In the death overs (last 5 overs), whether a good batsman is at the crease or not is reflected directly in the odds. To catch these moments you need quick mobile access — the btb 99 App makes it easy to stay on top of live markets.
Keep in mind — live betting is a fast-decision game, so it is better not to go beyond a budget set in advance. Betting is for entertainment, not as a source of income.
A Few Things That Help with Cricket Betting
Betting is mainly for entertainment — but a few simple habits help keep the experience more considered.
Choose markets based on the format
Total runs markets are active in T20 matches; in Test, the match winner market has a third option (draw). Markets differ by format.
Set a budget and stick to it
Decide in advance how much you will bet per match or per week. If you go beyond that limit, take a break.
Focus on one market at the start
Rather than betting on many markets at once, build experience first with straightforward markets like match winner or over/under.
Pitch report and weather
A grassy pitch favours pace bowlers; a dry pitch suits spinners. Rain chances increase the probability of a draw in ODI or Test matches.
Be careful with multi bets
Multi bets offer higher returns, but one wrong selection loses the whole bet. Keeping fewer selections reduces the risk somewhat.
Play responsibly
Betting is entertainment, not a guaranteed way to make money. Respecting your limits and taking breaks when needed is the mark of a responsible player. Learn more on our responsible gaming page.
